Nutrition Help

[Cmsumom 5]

I need help- I don't know what to do- I am 1year and 1 month out- I have lost 125lbs and I have been sick the whole time- I throw up - I feel like my gut is full of razor blades- they have done tests on me- my Vitamins are down- I have to be on prescription Vit D, and I have to go in and take B12 shots- which my doctor said because of the deficiency I may have early stages of dementia-

I try to eat all the time just to maintain my weight and get what I need- I have talked to 2 nutritionist and they just don't understand my surgery because what they tell me to eat and do- is not possible with this stomach.

My doctor recently did a colonscopy to make sure nothing else was going on and she said she thought that my food was moving to quickly through my stomach into my intestines which is causing me nausea and pain- I already eat so so so slow- and even kind of reguratate and chew more- I don't drink when I eat- I am at a loss- I just don't know what to do- I am to the point that I feel so sick and so done with all of this- I just want to close my eyes and be gone- its so very emotional, physical, mental -

I just want to be healthy-

Has anyone experienced this- THIS FAR OUT- I know this might be common the first few months after surgery- but I need to know informaiton from someone who is out at least a year and what has helped them or what they have done to stop the maddnes! Thank you, Tina

Wow... I'm so sorry you are going through this....My surgery is tommorrow and this post has me freaking out. Was the fact that the ghrelin hormone was taken out during increased your chance of developing dementia (along w the Vitamin deficiency)?? Getting early dementia is my number fear with this surgery.

I've also dealt with nausea my whole life so I'm hoping this surgery doesn't intensify that. Are you on any type of nausea medication??Is it working?

HI- I hope that your surgery went well- I am sorry if I freaked you out- I am just trying to seek understanding and help- by no one answering - I have to assume I am a rare case I guess. I still am having issues- but like I tell my husband I wouldn't have chosen not to do this- I can't count the ways that this has been a blessing to me- I did it for me- and there are just so many reasons why I would have still had the surgery- but I am struggling I won't lie on the "healthy" part of it all- they have gave me nausea medicine- but it hasn't been real effective. Let me know how yours went! It is an adventure- and I pray that you are well!!!
